A Review OF the Days Transac-
tEtt atfOne.

E5iA 4tiOns.
NEW YORK. August 5.-The stock market
was little less active but stronger to-day,
the upward movement meeting with but
little interruption throughout the day and
and while the opening figures ARE generally
the lowest, the final prices are about the
highest. There was some feverish trading
early in the day but this soon disappeared,
the influences being almost entirely f-vor-
able to higher figures. Reports were circu-
lated that the cable difficulties would be
shortly adjusted and that the complications
arising from the failure of the negotiations
of the Ives syndicate would be removed.
London was again buyer, and covering of
shorts continued, the indications pointing
to a noted bear as a heavy purchaser. All
the active stocks were strong and material
advances were made all along the line, some
of the specialties being particularly con-
spicuous for the gains made. The only weak
spot was Northern Pacific stocks which was
in lack of demand owing to the books clos
ing tomorrow. Everything is up tonight
except Northern Pacific which lost 17s, but
Omaha and Jersey Central rose 2ss Reading

Hon. Il. II. Browns Place.

Mr.. Thomas B. Brown wishes it dis
tinctly understood that his beautiful
home on Adams street, west of Figue-
roa, is not for sale. Mr.. Brown has
been eminently successful during his
eighteen years. residence in Southern

his numerous friends to be beneficiaries
OF his prosperity. Mr.. Brown has G. n.

acre tract into lots 100x250, and after
reserving a corner for himself, will
donate the remainder to such friends

RUN OVER.
A LabOrer Loses His Lie on the
Rail.

William Enright, a laborer in the
employ of the Kerchoff & Gunner Mill
and Lumber Company at San Pedro,
met with an accident yesterday even
ing at 5 O'Clock which resulted in his
death twenty minutes later. From
the meagre accounts received last
night, it appears that Enright was
walking on the lumber cars on the

under the wheels of a passing engine.
Coroner Meredith will hold an inquest

of Russell, Cox 4 Co., 1872 West First
street, and which was very largely at
tended. Mr.. j. II. Book was elected
Chairman, and Mr.. Ernest A. Cox
was appointed Secretary of the meet
ing. Il
After thoroughly discussing the mat
ter of leveeing the east side of the
river from Also to Seventh street, il
was decided petition the Council for
assistance in constructing the levee
and defining the lines of the Los An
geles river. 1t was moved by Mr.. A.
Jacoby, seconded by Mr.. Burke, chat
a committee of five present be appoint
ed to draft and circulate a petition
(amongst interested parties) to City
Council, asking to have half of the
cost of the levee ON the east side of the
river paid by said Council, and that
said committee be also committee OF
ways and means, to report to a future

been fully discussed and determined

1t would seem that the property
holders on the east side OF the river
are in earnest about making improve
ments not only of advantage to them
selves but also an ornament to the
city. The Southern Pacific railway
station is slightly to the east, and will
be great convenience to that neigh
borhood. There is to be l00-feet
boulevard from First street to the city
limits, with trees ON each side, making
fine drive. Also a street running
from the boulevard to Boyle avenue.

Editor Register. +
L seems that Our county mnst
build a new jail. The subject has
been agitated for some time, and
the Judge of the Circuit Court has
seen fit to take action in the mat
ter by entering an order requiring
the County Court TO make better
provision for the accommodation of
prisoners.
A Committee. 1 am told, appoint
ed by the County Court last year,
reported the Jail safe, and that the
expenditure of few hundred doll
ars would be all that it needed at
present to make Unhealthy. But it
don't suit some people who think
nothing will do but a new s25. 600
Jail; and it must be that they see
money in it for themselves, by the
active manner in which they are
working the project up. At a late
term Of our County Court, the
Agent of a firm, that has patent
jails to sell, was In attendance with
his models, which looked very nice.
He evidently made friends here,
who have hustled around and in
duced our County Commissioners,
L hear, to take trip to ST. Louis
to see the jail-all at the expense
Of the jail makers. How is it that
this firm is so liberal as to pay the
expenses of our County officers to
St. Louis2 II cannot be that they
have assurances that this patent
affair will be used. Our Commiss-
sioners certainly would not con-
tract for work in that way. No
one, L presume, will believe for a
moment that the gentlemen whom
the voters of this county have cho-
sen to manage their fiscal affairs,
would do a crooked thing like that.
Yet the County Court should have
care. Somebody is evidently aft
er big slice of the s25, 600 which
it is proposed to wiring from our
already over-taxed people. They
are after the Doodle. No one with
common sense, will believe that it
is necessary to expend more than
$4,000 to SIS, 600 for jail accommo-
dations. If more is done, put it
down that our county is being
robbed. TAXPAYER.
